Mirabilia Courses (ENG) - Cristina Alís Raurich

16/04/2023 — Education

The 2023 Mirabilia Festival includes three courses on medieval music and pilgrimage on August 14th-20th.

These courses are open to beginners and advanced participants. The course will focus on the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat, a 14th-century manuscript which is probably the oldest evidence for pilgrim’s music we know of.

If you want to participate and you do not own a medieval instrument we invite you to contact us anyway at mirabilia@catedralcuenca.es.

The courses

At the Mirabilia courses participants will be able to get instrument/singing lessons, medieval music notation, lectures on the context of the Llibre Vermell and medieval pilgrimage, dance lessons for musicians and for dancers, ensemble lessons, and more!

We will have simultaneous translation between English and Spanish.

Parallel activities during the course

An exhibition of medieval instrument makers will be held on the 15h and 16th of August.

Participants will have the chance to attend concerts and other events, some of them open exclusively to those who enrol the courses.
